Christian Counselors
There is wisdom in a multitude of counselors the Bible says. "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed." Proverbs 15:22. People who have tunnel vision, those who are locked into one way of thinking, are likely to miss the right road because they have closed their minds to any new options. We need the help of those who can enlarge our vision and broaden our perspective. Seek the advice of a professional and those who have a wealth of experience.
Christian Career Counseling
If you are a Christian looking for a new job or a Christian college student just graduating you may need to visit a Christian career counseling center for some wise advice. There may be one available at your church or school. They administer a few tests to determine what your gifts and strong points are to get you going in the right direction. This will save you time dropping off resumes at locations that may not be well suited for you.
Christian Premarital Counseling
If you are a Christian couple pondering marriage it is also wise to start a Christian premarital counseling series with a certified Christian counselor. Through these series of meetings you will discover how well matched you may or may not be. It is far better to learn more about each other before you head to the altar rather than after you have been married for several years. God gave us marriage as a gift. Man and woman were created perfect for each other. "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh." Genesis 2:24. Find out if you are ready for this level of commitment before promising, in a public ceremony, yourselves to each other.
Christian Marriage Counselors
And if you do find that after several years of marriage you have hit a road bump, again seek counsel from professionally trained Christian marriage counselors. In marriage there are numerous responsibilities, outside pressures and many distractions that can cause a divide between you and your mate. As a Christian you should seek the advice of another Christian. Do not look to self help books or watch "Oprah" or "Dr. Phil" on TV and expect those "advisers" will solve everything for you. Go directly to the Lord in prayer and in His word for answers. Christian marriage counselors that are trained and certified will give you Biblically sound advice.
Do your homework before visiting any type of Christian counseling center or individual counselor. There are many counselors listed in the yellow pages and online. Call your pastor, who, by the way, may himself be a trained and certified Christian counselor. If he is not, ask for his advice on where to seek counseling. Listen to personal testimonies from friends, family members or colleagues who may have recently received some Christian counseling.Remember Proverbs 15:22: "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed."
If the fees for counseling are a challenge for you talk to the counselor. I am sure they can work out a payment plan or fee that may be more acceptable. They realize that finances can cause pressure on a recent college graduate, newlywed or married couple with children. Your life's goals and trials are God's concern also and He wants you to succeed as much as you do.

Do this one magical thing and there will be plenty of hope for saving your marriage
Has your spouse just told you that your marriage is over? Are you doing what most people do when this happens? If you are then stop right now and read the rest of this article. It could be the difference between splitting up and making up.
What you must not do if you hope to save your marriage and stop your divorce
Most people have a knee-jerk reaction to their spouse telling you that you're finished as a couple. You tell them how much you love them and can't live without them. You tell them that you would do anything to get them back. You will change your habits, buy gifts, spend less time at the office blah blah blah... Do you think that all this pleading is going to make any difference? Well it is - it's going to make things a lot worse and push your partner even further away from you.
You have to fight to save your marriage but you need the right weapons
Whatever you do, stop pleading with your spouse right now. It isn't going to help and you need to learn a different way of approaching your problem.
Getting your wife back isn't going to be easy but it can be done and if you go in armed with the right weapons and the proper training in how to use them then you will be surprised just how effective they can be. There is hope to save a marriage in most cases - it's just a matter of doing the right things in the right way.
This is the first thing you must do to get your Ex back
The first thing that you must do to save your marriage is accept that it's over. I know that this doesn't sound right but you're not going to get anywhere until you realize that it's what your partner wants right now and you need to give it to them. Think about getting your ex back as the start of a wonderful new relationship together not the end of one that's failing.
Have a calm and rational discussion with your partner and tell mim or her that they are so right and that you have been thinking along the same lines for a long time. If you've already done the pleading bit and some time has passed then write them a letter to tell them that you now accept the situation and that you think it's the right thing to do.
I know that this is the exact opposite of what your heart is telling you to do but this technique has far greater chance of working than pleading with your spouse hoping that they will change their mind. Let's face it, pleading almost never works so what have you got to lose?
Now there is hope to save your marriage
Once you've accepted the situation and you both start to think about the rest of your life the pressure of the separation melts away and you're free to start making up. Be careful not to undo the good work you've done so far though. You now have to go under the radar to start getting your ex to love you again without realizing what's happening. If you go about it the right way - there is hope to save your marriage in abundance.
